Paul, I don't think anyone is saying you 'must' support MAM, or that

I think the statement being made is that -- even given an unusual
series of cyclic ties like this -- MAM gives an outcome least
objectionable to the greatest number of people. Not
unobjectionable, just least objectionable.
Well said!
The question I am curious about is whether you can think of a
*better* system that would be more acceptable, or whether you just
dislike the fact that MAM isn't perfect?
Good question.
